Default possible source for Nitro Amp

I have had a considerable amount of difficulty finding a source for a Nitro amp. However i recently found some on Dodgeparts.com in the OE catalog section if anyone is trying to find them. Instrument Panel>Sound System>Amplifier under the section for a 2007 Dodge Nitro. As I understand it this one should be plug and play but anyone who can verify please chime in...?

If so the price and availability both look good to me and i will order one as soon as i can determine that it will indeed plug in and give the non-wrangler-nerfed level of output.

I have a Sahara with the Infinity system. I have a soft top on mine and when the doors are removed it reduces sub and rear speaker output.

My 07 2dr x doesn't sound as good when I have the hard top harness unplugged. Any solution to this? I have aftermarket amp and sub and sub speakers. I read a thread a couple months ago with the solution. Any help? Can't find it now or remember. :(
